I haven't read the thread yet Jaysay but I will, in our defence though patients are often sent to the discharge lounge before their prescription is sent to pharmacy, quite often its not even written yet the wards will say pharmacy is holding things up, even the electronic prescribing isn't always finalised, its bad planning and we've been complaining about it ourselves as we are always the scapegoat, discharges in the pharmacy are prioritised in date/time of discharge order it is up to the ward staff to specify though. This doesn't help what you've been through and thats awful.
